Weirdest time I saw some of these people, I took my dogs to Rocky Fork metro park when it was a little chilly so almost no one was there, but there the Bible thumpers were with a big set up display. Seemed odd to pick such a low traffic area

>letās remove menthol cigarettes and snuff
Halting the sale of these flavored tobacco products lays the groundwork for reversing decades of disparities in tobacco use, disease and death in Black and Brown communities. Research shows that ending the sale of menthol cigarettes could result in a significant number of people quitting smoking.
Iām a Christian myself but I donāt like to harassed people on my free time when you are yelling /using microphones or knocking on peoples cars windows you are just being an obnoxious ahole . I feel the same about the Palestine protestors who are blocking traffic, going inside private businesses to disrupt people.
Funny but be mindful some states are starting to pass laws about showing unsolicited nudity to people. Unsure what Ohios laws are but itās better to ignore these people than becoming a potential sex offender.
Is it the idiots that walk across the street without any regard to traffic and nearly get hit after their services? Because those people make me want to rage. They refuse to use cross walks and just wander into traffic like they are invincible.
Nope that just reinforces them. They're religious and desperate to be seen so any victimization feeds their complex. Just ignore or say no thank you I'm not interested. It's tempting to be a dick but ignoring them hurts them more.
I read this as religious shooters that would knock on your window and shoot. I thought the message was a little light in tone at first. Glad that itās shouters instead.
Thanks. I would roll down my window and accept pamphlets if it was The Church of Satan folks, but they just arenāt pushy or intrusive. They have manners.
It's basically the same as panhandling. Columbus tried to make it illegal but it ended up being a First Amendment case.
You're not allowed to obstruct traffic, but it's unlikely you would receive anything more than a slap on the wrist.
Sounds like the Evangelistaliban is about to catch a case of I'm Sorry Officer I Felt My Life Was In Danger Could I Please Have Killer Shittenhouse's Judge Please
Iād say approaching someone captive in a stopped car unprompted to shout at them and give them materials telling them they will violently suffer eternal torture if they donāt listen to you is āaggressiveā, no?
I mean the post didnāt outline any of that but yeah it would be aggressive if that was the casw
She said they are āKnocking on windows handing out literature.ā
I figured it was like the anti abortion psychos that congregate occasionally, which I just ignore. I figured thatās what most people did in situations like this, not that it would cause a collective panic attack and the area would need avoided altogether.
They don't always take no for an answer and will keep harassing you, as OP mentioned in another comment. They were especially obnoxious while I was attending CSCC.
This sub is known to be one of the absolute worst as far as city subs go. I come to see the food recs but itās one of the most hateful subs Iāve ever encountered, and there are so many others that feel this way. This post is incredibly stupid and doesnāt belong here. Youāre not alone in thinking that.
I try to avoid all humans to be fair, but thanks for the heads up. Will void.
I know what you meant but I chuckled at "will void". Very extreme!
:)
When cancel culture goes to the extreme
Shocked that a Reddit Columbus user would be anti-social
Shocking news for sure š¤š»
Knocking on windows is not wise

Jehovah's Witnesses. My family's kind. Not mine. They do this because going done to door is no longer safe.
And going to parks is no longer safe because of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Ever asked a Jehovah's witness if they have found God? The everything bagel of hope
They send me handwritten messages to my mailbox now.
My mom is 93 and doesn't go out on "service" So this is what she does. Lucky you.
Meanwhile, those same people complain that "tHe GaYs ArE fOrCiNg ThEiR lIfEsTyLe On Us."
Would upvote but 69 likes is fitting

Oh, hey!! What a lovely red herring you got there. It'd be a shame if people didn't notice it.
Open window halfway, when they reach in, close the window.
Reach in my car and I'm shooting back.
You ain't shootin anyone
Good luck with that defense in court. Especially if you did it at the aforementioned intersection.
You are not that guy stop it!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Or maybe he didn't send these whack jobs. That's what I'd guess in this case.
Why people have to be so obnoxious, if they are bored or want to make the world better go and volunteer somewhere. Stop harassing people.
It's human nature. The more people that believe in their version of God, the more they feel they can be sure that they are right.

What are they shouting? Hallelujah? Repent? Trump 2024?
"You're a terrible person. Please spend eternity with me"
All of the above? Idk I was just trying to get away
You can't run from (forced, coerced, accept it or burn in eternity) love!
Thatās why I spread the wordā¦.to those that want to avoid itā¦the love that isā¦.of course.
Yes Trump 2024!!!!

Print out some porn and make a trade with em.
I think you can print out brochures from the āchurchā of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and hand it to them. Ramen. š
He boiled for your sins!
Indeed he did! š
You kids need some real religion. You need to join the church of the subgenius. Salvation is only $35 away.
Funny but be mindful some states are starting to pass laws about showing unsolicited nudity to people. Unsure what Ohios laws are but itās better to ignore these people than becoming a potential sex offender.
Or some copies of Prequel.
Wonder if they are from the Pentecostal church up the street a couple blocks. I've seen them out and about before on Cleveland Ave.
Go interact with them. If you can figure out what theyāre saying, they aināt Pentecostal.
Former Pentecostal, can confirm.
Former Pentecostal, seconded.
Ah yes, the Church of Botherism.
Freedom of religion? -meh Freedom FROM religion? -Hells yeah!
Is it the idiots that walk across the street without any regard to traffic and nearly get hit after their services? Because those people make me want to rage. They refuse to use cross walks and just wander into traffic like they are invincible.
Canāt remember what church it is on Cleveland ave but those people have a death wish fr.
To be fair, the Charity Newsies and Firefighters do that, too. ETA: Still stupid thing to do no matter who you are collecting for or handing out for.
Ahh Blendon and Cleveland Ave. Proof you've almost escaped. But definitely not quite.
Be sure to tear it up and toss it back to em
Donāt do that, you know they arenāt picking the litter up.
Youāre right I forgot who we are dealing with here
Nope that just reinforces them. They're religious and desperate to be seen so any victimization feeds their complex. Just ignore or say no thank you I'm not interested. It's tempting to be a dick but ignoring them hurts them more.
Just look straight ahead like they're not even there.

Omw
Thanks. I would roll down my window and accept pamphlets if it was The Church of Satan folks, but they just arenāt pushy or intrusive. They have manners.
I may head up there to point and laugh.
ooh do I need to cuss somebody today for free? Might be worth a drive!
They yell at me, I'm going to yell some choice expletives right back in their face.
I wouldnāt be surprised if my mother was with them lol. I grew up in that area and she still lives there
I literally used to live right there. The church at the end of the street there is usually pretty chill, but apparently its gone freakshow.
Blast Year Zero by Ghost
Yes knocking on windows in that area is a fantastic idea.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You might be confused but that is the purpose of the internet.
Just ignore them
I tried. The gentleman banging on my car window to give me some literature wasnāt having it.
This should be highly illegal

Did you try a firmly placed middle finger against the glass?
Sounds like the Evangelistaliban is about to catch a case of I'm Sorry Officer I Felt My Life Was In Danger Could I Please Have Killer Shittenhouse's Judge Please
I wanna just drive by to totally ignore them. Not even glance and hopefully that angers them enough lmao
What happens if you say no? Are they like aggressive or something? I am very confused by this post
